Finished my Spool Story squares!

This morning I finished up the squares that will become the basic pieces in my Spool Story piece that I created in the Carol Wingert workshop last Saturday. I am so glad they are all done! I loved doing these small fabric collages. Next project is to assemble and finish up the entire spool to share with all of you.

I so love the colors, the variety of fabrics, and the final finishes on these squares.

The square at the upper right is actually a pocket for photos, precious letters or notes, or whatever you want. The technique for the clock square was new to me and I love it! Hint: ribbon and glimmer mist.

Since I love to sew, the top left square is one of my favorites! All three of these have pockets and the one at the top right has a lacy tag to tuck in the pocket.

The square at the top left has beautiful trims on a small piece of fabric to form a pocket on this page as well.

Please click on each picture here to get a closer view of the all the squares and the lovely fabrics, trims and techniques used on each.
